We have been celebrating our anniversary in Taiwan the past couple of weeks but returned to Korea just in time to celebrate Halloween, my favorite day of the year. I’m sure that there are lots of events going on tonight (or maybe they already happened over the weekend?), but predictably we are pretty tired (and lazy) to do anything more than watch scary movies and try on the horrible, ill-fitting, toxic-smelling, masks I bought at the Korean dollar store (stay tuned).
Since Sly had to work until late last night (Sunday), he took today off. We spent the day scrounging through the clearance Halloween section of our nearby discount store and purchased some small items to add to our growing collection of cast-off Halloween decorations. Sadly, I didn’t find any good kitty costumes, but that certainly didn’t stop me from dressing up our poor kitties in Halloween attire. Rufus decided he wanted to be an elephant this year, while Max kept it simple with his sailor outfit.
Now you know why it’s my favorite day of the year.
Happy Halloween, everyone!
PS: The kitties were given many treats for their contribution to my happiness this Halloween. I suspect they will receive many more before the night is up.
PPS: Has anyone else played “Magic Cat Academy” on Google doodles? I’m kind of obsessed. Also, I’m kind of lame.

November 10, 2016 at 11:44 amI was on vacation in Tampa on Halloween. I happened to catch Aliens on TV. A few days later I went to Bonita Beach to stay with some friends. Marcie, the one I told you about who is a paddleboarder, turned me on to a show on Netflix called Black Mirror. This episode, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5709230/?ref_=ttep_ep3, wasn’t quite Halloween scary, but it was jarring for sure. This one, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4538072/?ref_=ttep_ep4, was like a ghost story.

November 24, 2016 at 2:55 pmI don’t know if it would be better to get the series on disc or a Netflix subscription. I know if I get the subscription, I’d feel obligated to watch other shows, and that’s just gonna lead to more discs.

I hope your Thanksgiving is off to a wonderful start, and that Max and Rufus are tolerating their Pilgrim hats.

December 14, 2016 at 9:21 pmI’ve seen one on or two snippets. Seems like I heard an interview with one of the creators (maybe a producer or writer?). Sounds like a good show. I just hope that Fuller House is everything I hoped it would be.

December 14, 2016 at 11:52 pmHaha I watched 1 eps of Fuller House out of curiosity… It was worse than the original series. Same bad acting but without the vintage 90s sitcom charm.
